the table doesn't lie. If we finish 5th it means Spurs is better than Arsenal. It is what it is.
Mikel Arteta | Lego Pep watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Trust the process 
He tried to rev up his players for the derby and got found out. I don't even think Wenger would be stupid to instruct his players to 'leave a mark'.
Could easily feck this up in the remaining games for all the credit he's getting at the moment. Newcastle in particular look tricky
Not bringing on a cb right after the red was odd
Not sure why there was so much discussion after the red

imagine if they bottled top four now
He's such a pseudo-manager. Tries his very best to look like the reincarnation of his lord saviour Pepus Christ but he's fecking clueless
He’ll never get a better chance at top 4 if they bottle this
United shite and Spurs terrible for half a season all whilst having no European competition

They face Newcastle and Everton after this while Spurs face Burnley and Norwich.
I want Arsenal to get 4th but if either of them are gonna drop points, you'd think it would more likely be them than Spurs.

Will be some bottle job alright up there with Rodgers and Leicester the last two seasons.
He should be sacked if they don't get fourth.
Didn't fancy our chances tonight I must admit, thought we'd struggle to keep Son & Kane out & proved right.
Monday becomes a massive game and it looks like we will go into that even more depleted.

First time ever Spurs wins the North London derby with 3.
Arsenal having a considerably worse manager than Liverpool, City, Chelsea and Spurs can only be a good thing. Long may his reign continue. It’s not like we don’t need the help.
That could have been even more ugly. It was poor today from them. They may still finish top 4 but I still don't see a very good coach in him let alone a top one.
And the first time Spurs have won three consecutive home league games against Arsenal since 1961.
Having a full meltdown in the post match
"I cannot say what I think because I will be suspended for 6 months"
No you won't, just say the ref was shit.

That was an utter disaster from Arsenal but it was about 95% a combination of Rob Holding being a moron and the referee being an utter clown and only 5% on Arteta.
From a tactical perspective, we were on top for the first 20 minutes until the referee decided to give a terrible penalty and Holding decided to lose his mind in response.
Arteta has a big job ahead of him to pick the team up and get ready for Newcastle, especially if Gabriel is hurt. I'll judge him more on what happens next then what happened tonight.

He was right, ref bottled it. Should've been a straight red.
He was robbed there though. Also, he deserves his own name. Lego Pep is Xavi now.
Wow, that presser with Arteta was painful to watch. He looked to be on the brink of crying the whole interview
Holding was shocking but Arteta's in game management leaves a lot to be desired
It was a penalty.
Anyone got a vid of the interview? Sounds like a Keegan moment
Surely Ben White should've started? Dunno if he's been injured recently but you get the feeling an experienced manager would've hauled Holding off as his temperament was just a joke from start tonight, would be fining him as much as you're allowed to.
He should've gone full Mourinho and parked 11 behind the ball and time wasted from first minute as draw would've pretty much secured Arsenal top 4.
Now I can see them dropping points at Newcastle so think they'll miss out and he'll be under massive pressure start of next season.
It's very OGS with him.

Waiting for all the Arse fans on this board to tell us that 5th is above expectations and they’d be happy with Europa.
Terrible audio and video but I guess it's the only way to post copywrited material and not get it kicked. Sure Sky will Tweet something out soon
Arteta really struggles to be likeable and comes across as deluded.
It's an emotional game but Arsenal are still a point clear with two games left so it's still there for them.
Newcastle well worth a bet on Monday now though....
Things are going well and hes out waving his hands around, not letting the players even take a piss in peace.
Not playing well and its arms crossed staring into the void.
I cant stand him

Horrible day at the office. Holding let the occasion get the best of him. I expect more from one of our more experienced players. Very soft penalty, though.
Has all the arrogance of Pep yet none of the success. Just makes himself look a deluded, extremely unlikeable character.
Happy new year.
Hes a proper guardiola beg
It's weird isn't it? Systemic manager's constantly reminding players about the system they've been training them to play in. When it goes to shit they just give up and sulk
